It is not quiet anymore Jingle…(You made me laugh) It is so much fun taking part in the rally, I enjoy it very much and love reading new poets work. Thanks for your lovely comment my friend…let’s Rally ON!!!!

Gosh.. How can something be so sad and beautiful at the same time?!?!?!! Heart wrenching… but lovely!
The pain and the deep emotions surfaced on this one, Amanda… Reading it makes me SO thankful for what I have… phhheewww
Really brought a tear my eye… it was just so delicate and tender…
Girl, you are so talented !! Your words can work a charm over the readers… I swear!!!
Keep it up, sweets… Luvv ya!!!
And Happy Rallying too!! (maaaannnnny hugs!) 😀

Funny thing is that with the “birth” of every poem, I find myself almost in tears too…I guess it’s just the romantic soul in me that brings all of this out!! I am so very happy that you liked it and sometimes I think people think that I’m lonely and unhappy…I am not, I think that whatever happens in our lives, happens for a reason and it makes us stronger inside. I think in my previous life I have been some other “Guinevere” and awaits my Lancelot….LOL….see, there I daydream again!! Thanks baby, you make me happy with your comments…always look forward to you coming here. Send regards to your hubby….Happy Rally to you too :):):) {{{Hugs}}}

you ? lonely?? phhheewwww … joke!!! 🙂 You have the ability to show pain via your poems! But I am sure you are surrounded by your favorite people … and when not, you love and savor that “me” time by indulging in cooking and writing poems? Am I too off the mark in my presumptions??!! 😉
mannnny hugs, girl.. I am yet to complete my rally poem…. GOSH!!! I was watching some amazing talent competition on TV, and got carried away with all the singing and all.. now back to “versing” !!!
Hope you are having a great day!!!

Such a lovely ode to one’s missing love! I think your long thin form works well for this– ending like the finger of the hand of the person reaching out for what’s not there. Nicely done!http://mairmusic.wordpress.com/

LOL…I was just thinking that I must have been some sort of a Guinevere in my previous life, always the sentiment and romantic soul when I start writing!!!! Where in the here and now I am quite content and happy….just have this “fantacy” going in my mind….that’s a good thing right?:):) 😦
Oh…just caught and felt your joy my dear friend xxx …right back at you!! oxoxox

Whoever it is… I’m sure she’s somewhere and someday if fate were to have it, then we shall meet… if she’s someone I’ve known and we’ve remained friends, let that friendship remain though hearts may bloom… If she’s someone unknown, then let her fill my cup of longing and make me whole… but till we meet, the bittersweet of longing I hold, wrapped around my heart in hope

Bittersweet is what I feel when I come to the end of this wonderful piece…it’s at once sad and soothing. Your work has an easy feeling style about it, always pleasant to the ear as well as to the heart.

Oh Brian, so you know that empty feeling of longing….both my childrens lives are far away from here and I miss them dearly…I pour all of my emotions into writing. I so appreciate your continued encouragement and invaluable comments my friend. Thank you so much!! ~ Amanda x

Aww Suzi, my children both live very far away from here and I pour all of my emotions into writing about that longing!! Did not mean to make you sad but happy that you read and support me. I appreciate it so very much. Sending you love across the universe xx

Thanks so much Pete, when I get a comment from you, I smile and it makes me very happy! I thank you immensely for your kindest words, your continued encouragement and invaluable comments. It means the world to me. Have a good day my dear friend x

Ohh hunny. It was like you were calling the universe into your loneliness. Summoning the ends of the earth to fill a void that can’t be filled. It was beautiful Amanda. Really top of my favorites list. With my over thinking I tend to over write so when I see a talent as yours capture so many things in so little words I’m left in awe.

Eloquent and a nice sense of depth — you have a unique gift in that you are able to tap into the human heart and express what so many feel but are not able to say it. People can long for some thing or rather be somewhere else at times in our life. There are moments when we just do not feel comfortable in our own skin. Nicely done.

Thank you Mandy for all the help you have given Lisa in putting her fathers memorial Web page together. I am so proud of her. I hope to get to meet you one day. Lisa speaks of you with love so you must be a wonderful person. oxoxo

You are very welcome and I am looking forward to meet you too, Lisa has told me so much about you and your love as a wife, parent and grandmother shines through. Sending you loads of love and hugs ~ Always ~ Mandy xx
